MUSIC/ HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES NAMED: Abba, The Stooges, Genesis, the Hollies and Jimmy Cliff will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the shrine's 25th annual ceremony on March 15, 2010, at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City. They'll be joined by David Geffen and a cadre of songwriters -- Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, Ellie Greenwich & Jeff Barry, Jesse Stone, Mort Shuman and Otis Blackwell -- who will receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award for non-performers. Not making the cut were KISS and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who were thought to be frontrunners when the short list of nominees was announced in September. It is unlikely that Abba, who disbanded in 1983, will stage a reunion performance for the event. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is open to artists who have released a record at least 25 years prior to their induction.
